The flowers in the field are done. It is time to dig up tubers, plant bulbs, put down hardy seeds, and get things ready for the next year. It can be so hard to say goodbye to a season. It can be so hard to watch the flowers you have spent hours upon hours caring for turn to black mush. Or maybe it’s a relief. Maybe it’s finally being able to spend some time doing things at your own pace and changing up your rhythm just in time to avoid burnout. Or maybe it’s both, maybe it’s

As we walk across the farm, through the frost-kissed (errr killed) plants, we find ourselves embracing the end of the season. This helps us step back and reflect on 2019. Two events jump out right away. The first is the success of the peony study. Gee, that feels good to say when much was uphill. We’re working with ‘Coral Charm’, an early variety that blooms around Memorial Day. Our goal is to force bloom for Mother’s Day and we successfully pushed bloom four weeks early this

Utah State University’s research on cut flower production is ramping up. About a year ago, I started the USU Small Farms lab, where we focus on tailoring cut flower production to Utah growing conditions, as well as testing environmentally responsible farming practices. My background is in soil physics, so researching production schedules, season extension, temperature manipulation, plant nutrient management, and water conservation is right up my alley. It’s particularly excit

We are so excited to get to know our members better, to hear their stories, and watch their growth and triumphs. Ali of Paradise Valley Orchard is an amazing farmer and person whom we greatly admire. We are so excited to feature her in today’s newsletter so we can ask her the questions we always wanted to and learn a little more about her. So read on to learn about Ali, how she got started, what keeps her going, and try to imagine what two alpacas in a Subaru look like.

Let's take a moment and define what makes a fabulous filler. If focal flowers are all about being the star, then fillers are the supporting cast. They should protect, surround, and enhance the focal flower in a bouquet. The best fillers are bulky without being unwieldy, and most importantly, prolific. Nothing is better than a small patch of plants filling buckets for weeks on end. Here’s a list of my favorite fillers throughout the growing season. The months I list them for w
